Suggestions from Michael from Hartford, Freda from Canada, and Zev from California, who writes "she is hot". Okay then!

  1. It's amazing how many sites still say she is Jewish simply based on that statement to Tom Cruise (probably because "she is hot"). I always wondered myself about that since the only evidence I ever found was what she said to Tom Cruise. Thanks for straightening that out and confirming my suspicions (she's still hot though....)

  2. I'd be curious to see Charlie Sheen as a "See also." They are at least two celebrities who have claimed Jewish descent in recent times to make things easier on them. Think what kind of a reversal that is from the pattern our grandparents knew. I wonder, are there others who've falsely claimed Jewish descent on your lists?

  3. Frida Kahlo is a famous one: http://www.jewornotjew.com/profile.jsp?ID=160

    But in Keri's case, I think she was joking, not claiming...

  4. And, of course, we just profiled Freddie Prinze, Jr, whose father (who will get his own profile soon enough) was making it up.

    Plus there are these two:

  5. I don't think Keri Russell was falsely claiming Jewish ancestry. I just think she was using a figure of speech that appeared to be a factual statement in the quote. A strange figure of speech, but nonetheless.

    However, please, Keri, you curly-haired g-ddess, please claim as much Jewish ancestry as you feel you need to! And then a conversion to Judaism would be wonderful finishing touch.

  6. You Jews are fucking funny! I mean it... As for Tom Cruise... well, he's just fucking Crazy! I'm Catholic and I'm ashamed of the fact that Tom was born Catholic... but thank G_D he is no longer one of us! I wouldn't wish him upon any religion!
